To Which He Replied 'Life Isn't Fair'

Warmth – 10:22pm, April 1, 1999

(I think we’re alone now
There doesn’t seem to be anyone around)

She’s a keen sight, it was pitch black
Thank God for the street lights, I wouldn’t want to miss that.
the night was gift wrapped and in my hand
Got caught up when I caught her on a side glace.
by chance did you hear about a storm coming?
we better get indoors before it pours for one thing.
She says she lives about a block away.
It could have been a longer walk we had a lot to say.
there’s no time to stop and play
I too felt a few drops of rain.
but that isn’t what she meant she said with a smile
in that case, I’ve also been wet for a while
it  was my mistake – but whatever
the night’s been great and it’s only getting better.
it might be fate – ask fate – will I and she date, or wait?
we seem to like to chase mistakes only to find that we never find them.

Silly me, I’ve forgotten 
my ability to be calm with caution
I perceived he smiled at me
and besides It felt like the right time to leave.
It was so cold to ask him to spend the night with me.
I know he has a girlfriend. so, why would he…?
he gladly had me grasping asking is this actually happening?
and the last thing that I remember 
is the night all day and my surrender.
we lied together, told lies together
the storm’s outside, with I (eye) in the center
mainly though, we just aimlessly roamed
through the greatest playlist from ages ago 

Annnnnd, there was a violent storm
She invited me in, then invited more.
I played it cool, like I’ve tried before.
But she was hot, and provided warmth.

Annnnnd, there was a violent storm
I invited him in, then invited more.
He played it cool, like he’s tried before.
But I was hot, and provided warmth

Her wet dress pressed against her left breast
enticing a question to which her silhouetted flesh said “yes”
But I didn’t stop there with the inquiry, she was still hiding the rest of her mystery 
This is me: Encyclopedia Brown helping out kids in need.
She looks sixteen, and like Mandy Moore
If I believed in God, this is what I’d ask him for
I feel like a kid in a candy store
stealing all the candy that he can’t afford
She played a song that felt like a drink in the summer.
I don’t hardly know her, but I think I could love her.
I think I already love her, Although there’s more to discover.
and… our hearts kept the same beat as peter lucia the drummer
We bared ourselves to one another 
shared ourselves while under cover
ensnared in spells of drumming thunder
it’s no wonder why we’d come here when succumbing to hunger

It was so cold. we warmed up. and the storm grew, so violently
and  I know It’s sort of cheating when you spend time with me
we took our clothes out of the dryer
to wear the warmth of our desire
and it felt like a fire
skin deserves to be admired
anyway, it’s getting late
I’ll call you another day to set a date
mainly though, we just aimlessly roam
through the greatest playlist from ages ago.

Annnnnd, there was a violent storm
She invited me in, then invited more.
I played it cool, like I’ve tried before.
But she was hot, and provided warmth.

Annnnnd, there was a violent storm
I invited him in, then invited more.
He played it cool, like he’s tried before.
But I was hot, and provided warmth


Nolto & Factor - Warmth (ft. Mairin Loewen)- 10:22pm, April 1, 1999

Sit-Down Comedy is the new project from Nolto and Dren (fka The Write Brothers), a Saskatoon based Rapper-Producer duo who have been making music together for over two decades. This album presents both artists at their best. Dren seemlessly blends instrumentation, samples, and loops to create moods that are both uplifting and haunting. Nolto sticks to what he does best, catchy choruses and uncomfortable lyrics, while seemingly unable to decide between rapping and singing. 

The lead single, "Ginger Rogers," is accompanied by a music video [https://youtu.be/DUUjAI3XIpU], featuring scenes from Fred Astaire's 1951 classic, "Royal Wedding." The scenes obviously fit the song perfectly, since the chorus was written about one particular scene: Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling, in love. 

The second single, "Frayed Knot," includes the album's only guest vocalists: Nolto's children (aged 5 and 7). Whereas, earlier in 2020, Nolto released a group project with Dayda Banks and Trill Monroe ("Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome" (SADS)), Sit-Down Comedy is a return to Nolto's more solitary song-writing style, with Dren perfectly accommodating each song's feel and theme. 

All of the songs in Sit-Down Comedy have dark themes over melodic sing-alongs, touching on many serious subjects, including social masking, anti- theism, snowboarding poorly, the breakdown of young marriages, the hatred of a former friend, and imposter syndrome. All the while, the heavy topics are handled light-heartedly, with an almost inappropriate humour, and always with a great beat backing it. 

Sit-Down Comedy is being released on Saskatoon Folk Rap Records (CAN) as well as Audio Recon (USA) and Pen Thief Records (GER).
